The Hero Disciple Is Back

EP.48 – 47. The teacher has become a body that can no longer go back to the past

I couldn’t leave it as it was, so I laid it down in my room.

“Yum Yum. snoring.”

“… … .”

… It seems that there is no caution… .

If it were Sera (even though Sera couldn’t have been like this in the first place), she would have scolded her hard enough… . First time seeing a girl… . That couldn’t be the case with the saintess.

“By the way, why is the saintess here?”

If she had such absurd divine power, there was no other way to explain it other than the saintess. However, being a saint was, of course, something that had to be protected in the temple. Why was such a saintess sleeping in the snow in the front yard of a hideout that others had so hard to find? . Even thinking about it again, I couldn’t find the slightest bit of reality, enough to make my head dizzy.

container! container! container!

But it’s a reality.

What the saintess is doing

The fact that the dragon Alea is running around

It is an absolute reality that will not change even if you deny it.

“First of all, wouldn’t it be good for my mental health to think that a guest has arrived?”

… But couldn’t the saintess be treated as an uninvited guest? What a saint. Being chosen by God… .

I shouldn’t have had good feelings for God, but even so, I didn’t have the will to flirt with God recklessly, so I had no choice but to think realistically and make a rational decision. So I had no choice but to judge that it was a reasonable decision to hang out and say bye-bye without fussing.

Really.

I must have gone into hiding… . Why do I have to get involved in this… .

“Coul.”

“Wake up.”

“… I want to sleep.”

“Shouldn’t you be eating?”

“… Sleeping is better than eating… .”

“Are you really a saint?”

“The wandering saint… .”

“The wandering saint?”

“… do not know?”

“I do not know.”

“… yes?”

“Yes.”

“… Hmm.”

“… … .”

“… Coul.”

“Wake up.”

“… Mmm. I’ll eat… eat.”

I really miss Sera who listens well.

‘But the wandering saint… .’

never heard of it

As an A-class mercenary, I was able to hear a lot of information, but the information I didn’t hear was… . That doesn’t mean there’s not much you can do to help. It’s because it’s only a sound that you can’t use it because you know. It’s a hidden body anyway… .

‘A hidden saint… . I can’t think of a particularly good story.’

But I think so… .

“… Coul.”

“wake up.”

“… I ate a lot.”

I’m not kidding, I really ate as much bird feed. It was a natural result as he was crackling while sleeping. I’m still claiming that I ate a lot… .

No, I don’t want to eat, so there’s no reason for me to care?

But unfortunately I couldn’t.

‘Because I’m a protector.’

A guardian is a guardian because it has no choice but to be a troublesome existence.

“ruler. ruler. wake up.”

“… I ate a lot.”

“So are you full?”

“… I didn’t call.”

“That means you didn’t eat much. eat.”

“… Yum Yum.”

In the end, it was a saintess who started to eat slowly and calmly, perhaps because she saw that I wouldn’t just pass by.

Really.

It was the moment when I could definitely feel that the name Steel Jade had literally become an old name.

Then I remembered something important.

“So what is your name?”

“Yum Yum… . stellar.”

“Yes, I am Jade.”

“Jade… . Yum Yum.”

Stella, the wandering saint, nodded as if she understood, and focused on eating. At an incredibly slow pace… .

‘Where are you eating? .’

I decided to think as best I could for my own mental health.

I could definitely feel that I had become a completely different person from the past.

‘Wandering Saint’ Stella

Despite being a saint, the reason why she is not known to the world is simple. It’s because she’s the ‘Saint of Wandering’. To be more precise, it is because she is the saint chosen by ‘Wolford, God of Wandering’.

Wandering God Ulford

He is the only god left in this world, but at the same time, he is a god who does not play a role as a god, literally a wandering god, so he only wanders and does not play a role as a god.

When asked by a believer, he does not answer any questions, and even when asked by a believer, he has never granted any request. A god who is clearly a god but cannot be accepted as a god because he does not play the role of a god. Of course, no temple was going to worship the wandering god. Even though the Wandering God had never wanted anything like that before.

Therefore, it was a natural result that the name of the wandering god disappeared from people’s memories. The Wandering God did not want attention from humans, and the humans also did not worship the Wandering God and did not want him. I wondered if they would forget each other as they drew parallel lines like that.

But suddenly, the wandering god appeared in front of the temple.

It was because of ‘The Wandering Saint Stella’.

He said that he had decided on a saint of his own, left the temple to take care of the saintess, and then disappeared. Appearing with the wind and disappearing with the wind, it was truly an appearance and exit worthy of Wolford, the god of wandering.

Anyway, the sudden appearance of the saintess, and especially the appearance of the ‘Wandering Saint’ made the story complicated in many ways. The biggest problem was that there was not a single temple dedicated to the wandering god, and there were no believers. And there was another big problem: the temples. From their point of view, the saintess suddenly appeared in a religion without proper temples and believers. On the other hand, it was a natural result that temples that had a long history or boasted a huge number of believers, but had never produced a saint, decided not to publicize the ‘Wandering Saint’ in many ways.

In the end, it became a matter of course that only some people knew about the ‘Wandering Saint’ and most people didn’t.

However, ‘The Wandering Saint Stella’ never cared about such things. The important thing for her was not to get caught up in anything and just to sleep peacefully.

In this way, the strange symbiotic relationship between the temple who wanted her existence not known to the world and the saintess who just wanted to sleep peacefully was completed. And she had never broken such a strange symbiosis. Therefore, there has never been a single irregularity in this relationship.

But it came into being.

It is because of the sudden disappearance of the wandering saint who is extremely indolent.

And that wandering saintess, for some reason, was eating slowly at the table set by Jade.

♤♤♤

“… I’m full.”

I was lying down and holding my stomach as if my stomach was really full, but there was no change in my slim stomach. I didn’t even eat half of what I ate in the first place. But seeing that you say ‘I’m thirsty anymore’ with your whole body… . I couldn’t come up with the words to eat more, so I decided to just clean the table.

container! container! container!

“… Do you want to lie down with me?”

Whiik! Whiik!

Now, it was the dragon Alea who could clearly express his intention to reject it by turning his body left and right.

“Okay, let’s lie down together.”

Despite clearly expressing her refusal, Stella lightly ignored it and laid down the dragon egg. But surprisingly, the dragon egg lay quietly.

‘… They’re using divine power for something like that.’

By pouring divine power on the dragon Alea, it made her drowsy and made her lie down. If it’s harmful to the body, as a guardian, you have no choice but to get angry, but it’s really good for the body, so I couldn’t say anything. Most of all, being able to receive divine power like a waterfall is something that can only be experienced when the saintess named Stella is there.

“Jade”

“It’s not like calling someone by their older name carelessly.”

“Jade”

“… yes, do as you please Why are you calling me?”

Stella, who was lying down with her long blonde hair splendidly spread out as if it were glittering with gold dust, looked at me with sleepy sapphire eyes.

“Do you think this world is worth saving?”

For the first time since meeting her, I was able to hear a proper voice without drowsiness.

“Why are you asking me that?”

“Because there was no one to ask but you.”

Does that mean that you came all the way here because you wanted to ask me this in the first place? It was something I couldn’t really understand. But just because I didn’t understand it wouldn’t change the meaning of the question. At first glance, Stella was not one to say useless words (because it would be annoying), and it was clear that such a person would come all the way here and ask questions, which must have its own meaning.

“I can only say that it is worth saving.”

“why?”

“Because I am a guardian. Because there is a child to take care of, and thinking about the child’s future, this world must be safe. So if you ask me if this world is worth saving, I have no choice but to say that it is worth saving.”

“… I don’t really agree.”

Stella muttered that in a hollow voice.

♧♧♧

Death was waiting for Stella from the moment she was born.

From the moment her life began, the end of death was waiting right in front of her.

It was natural.

Because she was a non-existent being.

half man half horse

she is human but not human

she’s half human

the other half of her

It was the ‘Majok’.

Originally, it should have self-destructed the moment it was born, but… .

The existence that changed her destiny appeared and changed her destiny.

It was ‘Wolford, God of Wandering’.

The god, who had never been properly understood by any human, suddenly appeared and bestowed incomprehensible good intentions on a half-human, half-horse newborn baby who was about to be destroyed right away. By activating it with force, it made it possible to continue living without dying. Then, after giving her the name ‘Stella’, she disappeared.

That was the whole story of the birth of Stella, the wandering saint.

So there was only one thing she didn’t know.

Why did the Wandering God do that for himself, who had demonic blood, why did he save himself, why did he allow himself to live… .

She couldn’t help but question the value of her existence, and that’s why she couldn’t help but question everything in this world.

But no one has ever answered her properly

That’s why she decided to fall into the world of dreams. Even if I stay awake, my head hurts from unanswered questions.

Then one day, she received an oracle from the ‘God of Wandering’.

It means that a man who can answer her questions has appeared.

That was Jade.

But she couldn’t agree with the answer she heard from him in the slightest. It was a pity for her, who had only hoped to get an answer.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Jade said to her.

“You seem to already have the answer within you just because you want to empathize? Doesn’t that mean that the direction you want to sympathize with has already been decided within you?”

“… … .”

Stella went blank for a moment. Normally, she was sleepy and dazed, but now Stella knew very well that it was not caused by anything like that.
